Polymarket's "2028 Presidential Election" Traffic King Is... LeBron James???

An article titled "Polymarket's '2028 Presidential Election' Volume Leader is... LeBron James???" discusses a peculiar trend on the prediction market platform Polymarket. Despite having less than a 1% real-time probability of winning, celebrities like NBA star LeBron James (with $48.41 million in trading volume), Kim Kardashian ($33.84 million), and even ineligible candidates such as Elon Musk ($23.14 million) dominate trading activity for the 2028 U.S. presidential election. In contrast, high-probability candidates like Vice President JD Vance and California Governor Gavin Newsom have significantly lower volumes. The high volumes for unlikely candidates are not driven by irrational betting. Instead, they are largely attributed to users seeking risk-free returns from Polymarket’s 4% annualized holding rewards for certain markets, which exceeds the yield on 5-year U.S. Treasuries. Large holders often simultaneously buy both "YES" and "NO" shares on these candidates to capitalize on this incentive. Additionally, some users purchase "NO" shares for liquidity or pricing advantages and later convert them into "YES" shares for their preferred candidates. Thus, the seemingly absurd trading behavior is rational and strategically motivated.
